ROMA ROTH (Creator, Executive Producer)

Roma Roth is the Creator and Executive Producer behind the CTV/Fremantle series SULLIVAN’S CROSSING on which she also serves as Showrunner. Under her guidance, Season One quickly became the #1 dramatic series in Canada as well as the highest rated drama series in Canada. SULLIVAN’S CROSSING also aired in the US on the CW where it became the #1 most watched series for the US Network. SULLIVAN’S CROSSING was recently acquired by Netflix where it took the coveted #1 position on the streaming platform. Season 3 of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING has once again become CTV and Crave’s most-watched Canadian drama series and has consistently been in the Top 20 series each week throughout its third season run for both platforms.  SULLIVAN’S CROSSING has maintained its position as CTV’s #1 Canadian Scripted Series every season, and is CW’s #1 watched series, and now also airs globally on Netflix. SULLIVAN'S CROSSING recently completed filming its fourth season.

Currently heading into its eighth season, VIRGIN RIVER is Netflix’s longest running Original Series and was recently listed by Bloomberg (based on Nielsen Ratings) as being in the top five most-streamed shows of the decade with 40.4 billion minutes streamed.
